Melanie's Flowers

Dear Ones~
Boy, I didn't know if I was gonna get this card for the Mod Squad Challenge done before the deadline or not. Thankfully, I found the time. We had our grandsons with us from last Thursday until Sunday. What fun we had. Then yesterday Himself and I went to Traverse City to pick up our new-to-us Subaru Forester. LOVE it!! So happy to have it.

But I digress - the challenge over at Mod Squad this week was to make a card with flowers. Our sponsor is the over-the-top talented Melanie Muenchinger, illustrator for Gina K Designs. If we use her stamps we get our name put in the prize pot twice.

Here's my card:

Here I stamped Melanie's Inspiration Mosaic image. This is a background stamp that provides all those layered rectangles. I love it, so many possibilities. After I stamped it on GKD White Card Stock, I masked off some of the rectangles and stamped those big flowers from Melanie's A Year of Flowers Stamp Set. The greeting is from the Inspiration Mosaic set too. I colored those flowers with Copics, and paper pieced the patterned paper from HOTP in the other rectangles. Then I mounted the whole thing on GKD Wild Dandelion, Black Onyx and Jelly Bean Green Card Stock. I thought those yellow pearls were a good final touch.

So that's it. I had so much fun crafting again. It has been too long, almost a WEEK!!! Yikes!!! I'm hoping to get another card done today. We shall see. It's St. Paddy's Day, so I need to get my corned beef going. Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by. I adore your comments.
